A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their professor. Soon they began to complain about the stress and problems in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned ________ a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups—crystal, glass, plastic; some nice looking, some plain looking. And the students noticed that some were expensive, some were cheap. And he told them to help ________ to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were ________ up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. Although ________ is normal for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root of your problems and stress. You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.
